Changing Multiple Hyperlinks

[Guest]

I am using PowerPoint 2000...

Is there a way to change the filepath of all the hyperlinks within a
presentation? I would like to move all the hyperlinked files from the same
directory as the presentation to a subdirectory for better organization and
so that the only file in the parent directory is the presentation.

I'm guessing this needs to be done with a macro or code, but don't know
exactly how to code it.

Thanks much for your valuable help!

A quick question: Why?

Which is a way of suggesting that it might not be worth the trouble if the only
goal is to pretty-up the root directory of a CD. ;-)

Client demands are client demands though ... so ...

You might be able to include a bat file in the root:

REM GO.BAT
@echo off
cd mydir
start mypresentation.pps
rem Or use LAUNCH.EXE to do the job

It *is* possible to force PPT to use relative links to at least some types of
files. Movies, sounds, images. Not OLE links. Hyperlinks ... hmm. Would
have to test.

But in any case it takes VBA code to do it.

Show me the link and let me edit it

Thanks for your reply. I think I found what I wanted to do in a previous
reply you posted - "Mass Editing Hyperlinks" on 4/25/05. I'm not sure why I
didn't find that when I searched before, but it looks to be what I need.

Thanks!
